Cameras and drones are everywhere. Equipment designed for war is used by police departments. Blacked out windows for thee but not for ye. Guns for thee but not for ye. What do they fear?
Whatever they have we must have!!
Meanwhile, they perpetuate fear and chaos with their very lax enforcement. When needed they can just pick a person and find a crime that fits? After all, it is the new Modus Operandi.
The MSM (Lying media) certainly has their back.

Because all the so called Bush Era conservatives, the types that John Ham and Hail hail to Ohio want back in office, brainwashed any one right of center into thinking anything military industrial complex was patriotic and blessed by God. Remember the Patriot act, the terror warning rainbow system, DHS, lying about WMDs, mass surveillance, calling anyone anti-war un American, selling excess military equipment to local governments, etc. etc.

It is a shame Reagan bought George HW Bush in as his VP. The Bushes hated Reagan.
Now, after what the Bush family did to this country, it really chaps my a$$ Reagan made that decision.

For some demented reason Conservatives think cops are their friends.

Because we refuse to use the second amendment!

Somebody has to take charge and build up an opposing force.
Why not you?

Because prior generations allowed the Sixteenth Amendment to pass.

This is why we have Trump
Over time the GOP had won more elections than the Dems ( Commies now).
It’s the “we aren’t like them, we take the high Road” weakness that has us 35 trillion in debt.
People are sick of the GOP Establishment go along to get along RINO’s

I’ll tell you why this is.
It’s simply Bc the average conservative has very little day to day interaction with cops. And many cops are friendly on an individual basis. Meanwhile, crime and the lowlifes of society have a very strong impact on our daily lives either directly or indirectly. Which is reinforced by watching the news or shite, even scrolling the OT.
And also bc, is there some other alternative to “cops”? We’re always going to have police, so what exactly do we even want? Take away their armored vehicles? Ok fine i guess that improves our quality of life some way. Have fewer cops? No, we don’t want to defund them. That’s the other side pushing for that anarchy. We want to hire better cops? Sure of course but our taxes are high enough. We want them to not enforce certain drug laws or civil asset forfeiture? You bet, but the legislatures need to step up for that.
So on some level, conservatives view cops as friends bc the other side views them as enemies. And the other side—full of communists and racists and retards—are most certainly not friends.

You are making excuses for the scum cops that made life hell on everyone during covid. I'd say you should be ashamed of yourself but then you are not a conservative. You have fully embraced big government and giving the excuse of "just following orders" to defend these tyrants.

Okay, there’s this book, called Revelations, in the Bible…..
Also, Matthew 24 amongst many other places in scripture show us all what is to come in our future, but this future for this world is actually well underway. The growing intolerance for God, the God of the Bible to be precise, His morality, and anyone who follows Him and refuses to deny Christ. These agents, this police state, and coming new world order government is just part of a much larger and wicked rule over the hearts of men.

Police are agents of order, in theory.

The function needs to exist. Our current execution of it needs some tweaking.
As for the individuals, on the rare occasion I come into contact with them I’m cautious. I don’t automatically think they’re bad, but I don’t trust them either unless I have a good reason to beyond their uniform. That uniform once gave them the benefit of the doubt with me, but that hasn’t been the case for decades.

We need to give them less scope.
Our system is over criminalized. The police should be doing the basics like murder, rape, theft.

Lavrentiy Beria was the Chief of Soviet Police under Stalin. He used to say, “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”

I think this is the most reasonable answer

That’s not how tax dollars work.
The government can print and spend money on demand, taxes are a means by which communists can seize money from people who do work.
Taxes don’t pay for shite.

Exactly. If the free citizenry were armed and the punishment for crime biblically defined, we would need peace officers.
It has to be a wonderful feeling to live without the threat of violence, theft, or fraud, don't ya think?
